The owners were friendly and helpful. Spacious house.
Wifi would have been good and that's the only reason I wouldn't go back

“Lovely accommodation, good location, shame about the 7.30 alarm!!”

This is a cracking cottage, an excellent barn conversion with all the amenities you could ask for. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, although the downstairs bathroom does not have a shower, so you need to borrow a different bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped, with great sized fridge freezer, washing machine that has a 30min quick wash and a separate dryer. The cottage has a good boiler with great pressure, so is warm and the showers will leave you happy!
We were an extended family of 6, over three generations, and we all liked it.
The location is outside of Stamford Bridge, just a 2 mile drive or 20min walk, although the local speed along the road, so not so sure about the walking. The coop is open 6am-10pm every day, so easy to grab any essentials. (We ordered an Asda delivery before we left and got it delivered the evening we arrived, without any issues).
There is no wifi in the property, so gear yourself up before you go (or have a proper holiday!)
Our only concern that let our holiday down was the neighbours dogs - they are put into a run infront of this property every morning around 7.30am, and the poor springer then spends the next 20mins or so barking repeatedly. Was a great reliable alarm, if you wanted one! The dogs themselves are lovely and friendly, and appear allowed to wander around at night once the neighbours let them out the run.
Overall, a really nice cottage, in a good location for accessing York and beyond, but will debate returning due to the alarm call...

“Very warm, comfortable and well ...”

Very warm, comfortable and well appointed cottage. It was ideal for 5 adults with the 3 en-suite bathrooms and plenty of hot water for everyone to shower in the mornings. The two single beds are 2'6" wide and seemed a bit narrow at first, but we adapted to them.
The cottage is very well located for using the park and ride into York which we used over 4 days. We had pre-booked afternoon tea at Betty's for 1pm, which was an ideal time, as it meant we were able to eat all that was on offer (it was a large tea with canapes, sandwiches, scones and cakes - and of course plenty of your chosen tea to drink). The National Railway Museum and Castle Museum were well worth visiting and just wandering around the ancient city walls of York was interesting. The younger members of our party found the range of shops very good in the city, with a number of individual shops not found on the average high street. A visit to Roly's Fudge shop was not to be missed.
We visited both Whitby and Scarborough as they were just over an hour's drive away. The week passed all too quickly and there were still plenty to do in York that we had not managed to visit.
We had a lovely meal at the Vintage Inn in Stamford Bridge and utilised both the Chinese and Pizza takeaways.
Overall a great holiday home and we would not hesitate to return.

“We all liked the quality, ...”

We all liked the quality, cleanliness and location. We have been going to cottages over the last 18 years and this ranks in the top 2 we have been to. Very very satisfied. Please congratulate the owners on a superb cottage.

“Fabulous cottage”

Phoned the day before to arrange key collection. The owner was very friendly and accommodating.
The cottage was fabulous, a lovely, well thought out conversion, with an en suite to each bedroom and equipped with everything that could be needed. It was extremely clean. The enclosed courtyard was handy for the dogs but also a really good sized grassed garden with direct access to the cottage. It was centrally heated heated with good insulation, so very warm too.
We were three generations, and the cottage was great for all of us. We wanted somewhere just outside York, so we could visit the city during the day. Stamford Bridge (about 2 miles from the cottage, had a co-op (that we used), fish and chip shop, a couple of pubs and more amenities (which we didn't use) that were all very handy. The Yorkshire Wolds Trail about 8 miles to the east (just over the hill you can see from the dining room window) was a good walk, you can park at the picnic area and then cross the A166.
The Cart Shed is even better than the pics. Warm, well equipped and clean with really nice owners, lovely views and a great layout., i would love to stay again and for longer!

“Lovely peaceful weekend”

We stayed at the cart shed in early November for a long weekend. It's pure luxury! Lovely spacious bedrooms,nice open plan kitchen,fantastic views, would definitely recommend.the only gripe I had was when my 5 year old son saw a swing in the garden and went on it and suddenly a very unhappy and grumpy man appeared saying its his garden ! Well how was my 5 year old son supposed to know that ?! I'm sure we can't have been the first to have had this problem and I think it needs addressing , apart from that it was a fantasic weekend.

“Beautiful cottage in which to spend Christmas”

After a dismal journey from Hertfordshire, my daughter, son-in-law and I arrived at the Cart Shed feeling tired and jaded. We were met by the owners who welcomed us cheerily. The cottage was even better than we had expected with every possible convenience and real luxury. The heating was more than adequate so that we were soon warm. Unfortunately the dishwasher had been out of operation for a while and the previous visitors hadn't washed up very well so we had to wash cups before we could have a drink and plates before our evening meal. Nevertheless the kitchen was very well fitted and spacious enough for us all to be involved in the cooking. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well.
My son-in-law's family live in and around York so we were able to see them all from our comfortable base at the cottage.
All it lacked was an open fire to compensate for the awful weather, and some recognition that it was Christmas. Other cottages we have rented at this time of year have had a Christmas tree and some holly - a small expense to make it extra special.

“Little relaxing gem in the countryside!”

The cart shed was furnished to a very high standard, with good views over fields. Easy 20 mins walk along a not too busy road into the nearest village, which has lots of history, great walks, great cafe and even better whisky shop! Highly recommended!

Features

The property

A brick-built, detached barn conversion on the edge of the historic, rural hamlet of Stamford Bridge, 7 miles from York city centre.

Beautifully finished to a high standard, this York cottage has panoramic views over open countryside thanks to the strategically placed French doors and feature windows.

Oak flooring downstairs and underfloor heating in the kitchen ensure a warm, comfortable welcome in this attractive, traditional York cottage.

Fixtures and furnishings are to a high standard throughout this York cottage.

Set in a rural location, this cottage near York is well placed to visit the delightful market towns of Beverley, Driffield and Malton, and yet it is only a few miles from the park and ride facility in York where you can visit the Minster, National Railway Museum and the Jorvik Viking Centre all in one day.

The coast and North York Moors are a short drive away from this York cottage, making it an ideal base for families, walkers or groups of friends to explore the region.

About the location

YORK

The city of York needs no recommendation, for it teems with interest for the holidaymaker: the Minster, its medieval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums(including the famous National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally-renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its "time trip" experience. Summer and winter, there is something to fascinate the whole family. Explore York’s quaint streets and hidden corners, or take an excursion further afield to the Dales, Moors or the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Yorkshire is rich in stately homes, with Harewood House and Castle Howard just two of several within an hour’s drive. A cycling city boasting two theatres, character pubs and great shopping, York has it all.
